State Deficit and God’s Abundance—JRLC’s Faith Forecast for 2009 Legislative Session
This message is about the state's budget deficit, but here's where we start: God's creation is good. We live amidst abundance in this beautiful part of the globe with neighbors and friends who are generous and kind. We share God's vision for us -- there will be no poverty; the economy will ensure basic income and opportunity for all. When we are sick or disabled, we will receive the care we need. We will stand together in adversity. We will make sure people have housing and heat this winter. We will be productive, creative, compassionate, and forgiving in the way we respond to God's gift of life....
Ending poverty is possible when we show up, stand up, sign up, and speak up.
